There does not seem to be any indication that this podcast has anything beyond

WP:ROUTINE coverage. Most of what I found seemed rather surface level and not particularly in depth. Therefore, it probably should be deleted. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 01:24, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply

Delete I could not find any reliable sources that meaningfully discuss this podcast. At best, it is too soon to have an article on this subject. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 01:31, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete only trivial coverage exists. No real RSs. I have also listened to some of the podcast. Perhaps it is

Weak keep - or alternatively, redirect to WP:ATD that in my opinion it should have been considered before even nominating this. However, in fact I would make a cautious argument to keep on the basis of the changes I have made. Specifically: the #1 Apple Podcast chart position, reliably sourced to Forbes, and the following (admittedly quite brief) reviews: [1], [2], [3]. Hug^syrup 11:50, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply

Keep: Per Hugsyrup. Recently added sources are good enough for the article to be kept. _SUPER ^ASTIG 10:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the Forbes article found by Hugsyrup is a passing mention. The other three offerings are bloggish mentons. We have no non-trivial coverage of this podcast in WP:RS. Lightburst (talk) 23:22, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per Hugsyrup. Appears to barely meet GNG.4meter4 (talk) 23:43, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Lindsay Graham (podcast host), and probably merge in American History Tellers, and expand into an article on the person behind both works. BD2412 T 05:52, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Purely by added sources which are ok and leads towards WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 09:23, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: the sources BabaQ refers to consist of passing mentions, lacking substantial, in-depth, third party sustained coverage, and in no way confer or attest to the topic's notability...let alone "leads towards" it. ——SN 54129 10:08, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of all the criticisms you can make of the sources I added (and they are certainly not perfect...) I’m not sure that ‘passing mentions’ is really accurate. One of them is a dedicated review article, and another is a substantial paragraph within a roundup of reviews. The Forbes one is a passing mention but the sole reason for adding that is because it establishes the number 1 chart position which, were this an album or book, would potentially be enough to pass an SNG. I’m honestly not overly wedded to this being a ‘keep’ but just want to make sure the sources are given a fair hearing! Hug^syrup 10:47, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t mind the ”criticism” Hugsyrup. POV never trumps the guidelines and a closing admins eye.BabbaQ (talk) 13:49, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep there's enough to err on the side of keeping, especially considering there's time yet for more. Usedtobecool ☎️ 11:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
